DWC shares love in simple way

23 January 2018

It was not about what they gave but their desire to share a simple blessing that brought happiness to this group of children over the Christmas season.

On Jan. 2 this year, members of the Domestic Workers Corner (Hong Kong) led by one of its administrators, Meryviel Cabrera, held the group’s first feeding and gift-giving mission.

The recipients of their heartfelt sharing were 12 students of the Anoyon Day Care Center at Bgy. Anoyon in Valencia, Bohol, who came with their parents. The donors conducted the feeding program with help from Debbie Balagot of the day care.

Later, the group distributed gifts and food to the students and their parents.

Balagot told the recipients about DWC HK and why it decided to have a community outreach program like the one at the day care centre, even if they don’t have much to give.

During the program, Balagot noticed one parent who came barefoot, along with her three children. She talked privately with the center’s teacher so the family could have four pairs of slippers delivered to their house the next day.

The group said it was gratifying to hear parents talking about how they made Christmas special for their children through the simple sharing of blessings.

It plans to hold similar gift-giving in other places in the Philippines in the future.
